#ICYMI: The Association of Old Crows hosted the 60th International Symposium & Convention at National Harbor, Maryland. Exhibitors, speakers, & attendees were at the December event which highlighted global #tech innovations & issues in EW #defense & #security. #AOC2023 #cybersecurity bit.ly/3HwiNye
#AdventOfCode day 23 was the last one that eluded me: github.com/Balise42/AoC...
I think it's the first time I don't finish it before December 31st. #AoC2023 has been harder than previous years for many reasons - but there, I am DONE, and I have ALL THE STARS.
#rust #rustlang
#AdventOfCode day 24 - github.com/Balise42/AoC...
Basically part 2 outputs what I need to feed to Wolfram Engine, because I'm Not Implementing That (or at least: not today.)
#rust #rustlang #AoC2023
*phew* I got #AdventOfCode day 21: github.com/Balise42/AoC....
Code for part 2 gives me Numbers, and the rest of the result is by doing AdventOfPenPaperAndWolframAlpha. I got the vague idea a few days ago, but it took me a while to figure out exactly what to plug in, though.
#AoC2023 #rust #rustlang
#AdventOfCode day 19: github.com/Balise42/AoC...
My first attempts were doing Very Ugly Things requiring processing 30 billion hypercubes, so that wouldn't work. Second attempt is Not Pretty, but mostly due to Bad Life Choices regarding data storage: I can live with that.
#aoc2023 #rust #rustlang
#AdventOfCode day 25: github.com/Balise42/AoC...
Quite slow (takes ~10 minutes or so to execute), but I'm still missing 4 stars, so that's a "if I still have courage when I'm done" problem.
#AoC2023 #rust #rustlang
The final stretch of #AdventOfCode is being particularly rough due to a combination of "later holidays than usual" and "pretty busy last week at work", which left me... tired.
But: I have day 22 :) (Which is quite ugly for the underlying concepts): github.com/Balise42/AoC...
#AoC2023 #rust #rustlang
#AdventOfCode day 20: github.com/Balise42/AoC...
It does feel like, for yesterday (for which I don't have the second star yet) and today, I spent like 50% of my time fighting with my #rust. Long version of that rant on octodon.social/@Balise/1116....
#rust #rustlang #AoC2023
#AdventOfCode github.com/Balise42/AoC...
I have, like, 3 reasons why today was weird, but I don't have enough characters on this platform. If you're interested, longer (although not long) post here: octodon.social/@Balise/1116...
#rust #rustlang #AoC2023
#AdventOfCode day 17: github.com/Balise42/AoC...
It worked out well for me: first day I'm below 10000 on the global (well, I also solved earlier). And my code ran correctly straight after compilation, which is always nice.
#AoC2023 #rust #rustlang
Okay, so for #Day5 of #AdventOfCode, building the whole map into memory is not a good idea 😅
#AdventOfCode2023 #AOC2023
#AdventOfCode day 15 catch up: github.com/Balise42/AoC...
Again, nothing particularly challenging here - a couple of reading comprehension issues, but nothing that wasn't fixed on second read.
#AoC2023 #rust #rustlang
#AdventOfCode day 16:
github.com/Balise42/AoC...
Very straightforward, didn't even have to debug it 🤔
#AoC2023 #rust #rustlang
#AdventOfCode day 14: github.com/Balise42/AoC...
A bit fiddly, so it took more time than it could have (a lot of off-by-one potential on this one), but not particularly hard. Well, I did have to re-implement everything on part 2, but I was kind of expecting that.
#rust #rustlang #AoC2023
And #AdventOfCode day 12 for the final catch-up: github.com/Balise42/AoC...
I credit AoC for making me better at this kind of problems!
Using a crate for part 2 felt a bit like cheating, but #rust is kicking my ass hard enough that I feel vindicated when it actually helps me :D
#rustlang #AoC2023
I wonder if Advent of Code will still be around in 2028 and who will run for US president. #AdventOfCode #aoc2023 #AOC2028
Catching up on #AdventOfCode today, but I did solve today's (ay 13) before yesterday's: github.com/Balise42/AoC...
Didn't strike me as particularly difficult, and very happy that my modifications between p1 and p2 were pretty minor.
#AoC2023 #rust #rustlang
And, after some fight, #AdventOfCode day 10 is here:
github.com/Balise42/AoC...
This one felt like it needed a lot of things to be Just Right, and it took me a while to get there.
#rust #rustlang #AoC2023
Catching up on #AdventOfCode: day 11 is here github.com/Balise42/AoC...
Not hard, although my solution is far from being elegant - most of my problem there was to coerce types around each other 🙄 (I think I'm not using this language the way I should.)
#rust #rustlang #AoC2023
We're exhibiting! Come visit the Nippon Control System booth at the Association of Old Crows #AOC2023 Symposium at National Harbor, Maryland. Hear how the NCS DRA Series ultra-high-speed data recorders can turbocharge your #data capture, processing, and storage. Learn more at bit.ly/3W82Ep3.
#AdventOfCode day 9 github.com/Balise42/AoC...
nothing much to say today!
#rust #AoC2023 #rustlang
#AdventOfCode Day 8 - part 2 was A LOT of luck, as in "mayyyyybe the input works that way" and it was definitely a shot in the dark, with a side of "a harder version would be day 15, not day 8" - github.com/Balise42/AoC...
#AoC2023 #rust #rustlang #cheeeeese
#AdventOfCode day7: github.com/Balise42/AoC...
This is the first time I actually refactored after submitting (to DRY a little better).
#AoC2023 #rust #rustlang
Lazy day 6 on #AdventOfCode: github.com/Balise42/AoC...
Could it be faster? Absolutely. Does it need to be? Absolutely not, ship it.
#AoC2023 #rust #rustlang
#AdventOfCode day 5: github.com/Balise42/AoC...
That was a long fight. And my code is overly verbose. But: there :D
#AoC2023 #rust #rustlang
#AdventOfCode day 4: github.com/Balise42/AoC...
Pretty straightforward today, I'd say. Parsing could have been a bit annoying, but regexen to the rescue!
#AoC2023 #rust #rustlang
Getting your sleep schedule in order is not all positives, I have been passing out while trying to finish #advent-of-code #aoc2023.
A very low level solution in C to day 3 of Advent of Code. Lots of fiddly searching around, but perhaps quite efficiently because it runs in only 2.3 ms on an old 2013 iMac. Code with lots of comments github.com/ednl/advento... Image is my function for calculating gear ratios. #AdventOfCode #AoC2023
